Forecasts

Radicchio (2/1), White Pearl (5/2), Wecangoallnight (9/2), Texas Red (5/1), Gimmeanotherchance (7/1), Busstopinhounslow (9/1), Savannah Storm (40/1)

RADICCHIO has a significant edge on form and has claims second to none. Gimmeanotherchance is likely to pounce if the selection fails to deliver, while White Pearl edges things for third.
